When my husband and I were seeking a doula, we initially selected Mylah due to the affordability of her services. However, we were pleasantly surprised to find that she consistently exceeded the original scope of her responsibilities. She genuinely demonstrates care for her clients, at least that was certainly our experience. Without delving into excessive detail, employing a doula was a crucial decision for support during this pregnancy. I have historically encountered difficulties advocating for myself with various medical professionals, my family, my workplace, and virtually all aspects of my life. I had grown quite weary of these challenges, but Mylah was instrumental in making this entire journey a success for us. She remained steadfast in her support, never dismissing my feelings, and consistently checking in on my husband and me, even inquiring about our son to see how he was adjusting. We dedicated months to crafting the birth plan, and she provided me with videos and feedback on exercises to prepare my body for the approaching day. When circumstances necessitated a medically induced labor, she maintained her composure. Adapting to the situation and providing the stability we needed for a successful unmedicated labor followed by a medicated vaginal birth. It is safe to say that without her, I do not believe I would have mentally navigated this pregnancy well. Previously, although I couldn't articulate it at the time, I experienced the onset of postpartum depression shortly after my son's birth. This time, despite being connected to a continuous infusion of IV medications, experiencing minor bleeding after birth, receiving significantly less support from other sources, and encountering numerous additional challenges, I can joyfully state that I am thriving, not merely surviving. I am uncertain how the remainder of this year will unfold, but I am confident that I will genuinely cherish the memories of my daughter's birth and newborn days. Thank you, Mylah, for helping me positively reframe my previous birth experience. You will always hold a special place in our hearts. To any of my friends or colleagues who may require a doula, I will wholeheartedly recommend your services.

This was the best birth experience I’ve ever had. Mylah made sure my family and I were prepared with all the tools we needed leading up to birth. She gave me comfort measures that helped me labor at home and have a quick and easy birth. I would have a million more babies just to have Mylah as my doula. I am beyond grateful for her and her knowledge. Even after birth she is still here with her full support ready to show up for anything I need as we transition from 1 to 2 kids. Blessed to call her family now and cannot thank her enough. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

I had an amazing experience with Jamylah. She stepped in, took control when I couldn’t, and saw my birth plan through to a T. She’s so caring, attentive, and genuine. Though it was hard work I loved my birth experience and if I did it again I would choose her. She’s an absolute gem and her passion shows! Thanks again Jamylah ♥️
